Kind of wish I could go back in time 10 seconds before I knew this existed.

Nothing fair about that goal.

Just think if we drafted Pasta instead of Fabbi. And he’s already Blue material at a currently bargain priced contract too.

His next contract wont be so team friendly, unless I totally miss the mark.

Dave's a mess wrote: Wed Oct 23, 2019 8:40 amYeah I agree. Plus by the time his current deal ends, Chara will have retired and Bergeron/Marchand will either have retired or be playing at a lower level than they are now. If I'm him I'm hitting the market. I do like chowder though.

Pastrnak is in Year 3 of a 6-year extension. Seattle has some pretty darn good chowder houses, too. Just sayin'.

A sneaky reason why I'm glad we won game 7 last year is that now I can watch Bruins games/highlights and just enjoy them rather than being pissed off no matter how great they are.

PS; is it just me, or has Steen really embraced his role over the past couple seasons as a shit disturber and agitator? I know some want him gone, but I love his attitude and play. He ain't scared, that for damn sure!

I'm still a Steen fan. May not score as much as he once did, but he finds a way to contribute

Once you get over the fact that he's overpaid you realize he's a very useful player for this team. He probably had to adjust his own expectations as well. Him graciously moving to the 4th line last year was incredibly important. I'm sure a lot of veterans would've bitched to the point that it hurt the room.

But why does someone have to forget that part? I think it's a major part of his story right now. He's useful, but he's taking up a lot of cap space for a "useful" guy. Nearly 6 million a year for a player who will be fortunate to hit double digit goals.

I'm not going to toot the guys horn because he didn't cry publicly about his skills being recognized during his demotion.

You don't have to if you don't want to, but it's a sunk cost at this point and he has a full no trade clause. He's going to be on the team this year and next no matter what. Should we expect veteran players to handle demotions in the same way? Absolutely, but that's not what always happens. It's clear it wasn't a good value contract. It's also clear he's still a useful player.

I won't have that tone. Go to your room, Westley.
